It has been quite a while since I opened the CRC and it has been quite a success!
We have 7 games put up with another going on in the next update. There are two sets of free graphics (a rather nice set of three flowers by me and some cool ground tiles by ledorax) and I should hopefully have finished a tutorial by christmas (at least at the rate I'm going at).

I have just one question to ask. Where in god's name is everybody else. There are not just 8 games currently being made by coldstone.

Think of the advantages to your game:

FREE graphics.
FREE advertising
FREE advise
FREE message board of your own which you will be a mod on.

In the future I should hopefully have:
A monthly newsletter that will give you all the latest news about Coldstone and the games being made by it
FREE banner advertising for your game (submit a banner or get me to make one for you).
A tutorial.

Sign up now and get a FREE car (subject to status and availbilty. Availabilty is currently zero)

In order to make it a really big success I need your help. Send in your game info and I will put it up.

My Doctor said I was having too much wine, women, and song - so I gave up singing because 2 out of 3 is not so bad.

Try and click on those links up there, and see where they take you. Heehee!

------------------
Boo! Did I scare you? No? BOO! How about now? Good!

Yeah, maybe I should have made the link in my signature more obvious. I kind of messed up the joke.

Speaking of shameless advertising, I was wondering. Does the Coldstone Newswire get any hits anymore? I mean, those of us who have sites and or games can still post so there, right? I was trying to think of cheap ways to get the word out about games, (specifically the one I'm involved in) and I was not really coming up with anything. Cheap that is.

Don't forget Kit's ABC Adventure!

It's complete besides a couple things I'd like to fix quality-wise.

Silent Wing will also be done in coldstone, but I only have about 15% of the graphics, 20 - 25% audio (includes music and voiceovers)done and some test code.

All story, all character design, and levels design are complete - on paper though.

And shameless plugs are bad <<cough>> click below <<cough>>

Yep, post whatever you want to on it. It still gets read.
